Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Venison steaks
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, black pepper, honey, and lemon juice. Mix well.

Step 2

Place the venison steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Remove the venison steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling to allow them to come to room temperature.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F or 200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the venison steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Place the venison steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.

Step 7

Once cooked to your liking, remove the venison from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful steak.

Step 8

Serve the grilled venison steaks immediately, paired with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
